I disagree with the projections that this'll be a "light" mecha series, tbh.

You know I thought t'd be light at first but after checking out the staff I'm not so sure anymore
Chief director Satou (also doing bodacious space pirates this season) doesn't always work on light stuff and also has anyone seen series composer Shôtarô Suga's track record as a writer?

His only other series composer credit is the second half of Darker than Black,he contributed scripts to the rest of the show as well.
He's also contributed scripts to shows like Blood +,Devil May Cry,Le Chevalier D'Eon,Eureka 7,GiTS: SAC,Moribito,Eden of the East.

Of course he only had minor roles in those but basicly when this writer tends to be involved in something it doesn't turn out too light,there's only a couple exception here and there.

So some incident happened 10 years ago when Madoka almost drowned and made contact with the robot. So now she's the only one that can pilot it. Like how her cousin gave her a little tough love to get her spirits up and be able to move the robot again. It's going to be tough now that she has to face 2 enemies.

Seems like Lan was upset that Madoka said it was easy. The guy whose eyes are closed (forgot his name) talked about some legend and seems like Lan was spooked. Also maybe the reason why she can't operate her robot easily.

Madoka gets her first trial of resolve and comes out quickly. It was obviously meant to add to her character but it's kinda hard to see how that adds to her character when it's resolved so easily and so quickly. Oh well, I still like her. I hope they start answering questions quickly (Like how the hell the rest of the people in that town hasn't noticed two epic mecha battles in the sky...)

Ahh Madoka, you have yet to seize my smile whenever you act goofy and wild in situations that are meant to be serious, but thats what I love about you

As soon as that guy told Madoka "The future of our planet rests in our hands" I immediately thought "Thats a lot of pressure to put on her!" and right after, Madoka said "I can't handle the kind of pressure right now!" I snickered quite a lot after that

I wonder who that girl was that Madoka ran into in the hangers. They were both lost, but the blonde haired girl seemed less worried XD As for Lan, it appears she wants to be more help towards Madoka. It was actually quite surprising to to her begin to tear up since from what we have so from her so far, she''s pretty emotionless. Aww Lan, you big softy However, I guess something happened to Lan since she was stopped by that guy and he mentioned that she may not be able to accept the Vox in her current state.

In the end, all it took was Madoka's cousin to annoy her to the point that she would want to beat something up, thats a perfectly reasonable way to get the robot moving But, to her misfortunes, it appears that it is a handicap match now (Sorry, after that superplex from last episode, I can't help but use wrestling terms for this anime now )

As soon as that guy told Madoka "The future of our planet rests in our hands" I immediately thought "Thats a lot of pressure to put on her!" and right after, Madoka said "I can't handle the kind of pressure right now!" I snickered quite a lot after that

The part that got to me was what she said right afterward "but I havn't seen Tokyo yet!"
The whole cellphone antics were great too,from looking for signal inside the facility to taking her cellphone inside her mecha and then casualy answering it

Would love to see a crossover edit where Youko (Madoka's cousin) yells at Shu from Guilty Crow!

How much did that defeated mech weigh? Seemed kind of silly that those two helicopters could lift it, plus the way they had it balanced looked pretty precarious. Also, how is Madoka able to use her cellphone underwater?

The content in the episode wasn't very interesting.
The enemy waiting for the conversation to end before he bothered to attack proves that the enemy aren't bad people, but are just in a bad position. How unfortunate!
Noto's eyesight surely must be foreshadowing that her eyes have some magical alien powerup lens or something! Then again, JP highschoolers can see girls in far-away moving trains these days, so maybe they just all have awesome eyesight.

Content of episode wasn't interesting and the protagonist's adaptability is abnormal, but the protagonist's general personality is definitely what is supporting this anime and I like that part. Also, the pilot suit fanservice is fairly nice.
The incredibly random "Woof" dog thing is just really random though.

"Maru~!"

Hrm ... well, I guess I kinda liked ep 2. I guess it is fair to admit that I am not much of a mecha fan to begin with in general, but somehow the contrast of Madoka's cheerful, genki personality and actions in the middle of "serious mecha drama story" is the most interesting part thus far. The relationship between Madoka and the robot reminds me of that of the main character and her robot Zero from Skygirls for some odd reason....

I must admit that I giggled when I heard the VA of Muginami - isn't it the same who VA's Menma from Ano Hana? Somehow the contrast of Menma with Muginami was ... odd. Also Lan's "Wan." statement also made me chuckle.

I'm still not sure what to think about this anime, but I'm leaning towards liking it. The main heroine is a spunky and gutsy gal and that's pretty interesting. I like to so what kind of stunts she's going to pull off, but the overall plot direction and story doesn't seem to interesting.

Theres alot in anime I really really like and think is great but to actually wow me is a rare thing, last anime to give me that wow feeling I think was Clannad After Story but that was more of a collective wow after watching the whole series, this wow'ed me in the 1st ep alone!
Not even Horizon managed to get a wow from me and that was my favorite anime from last season and of the year.

Visually stunning and backed with a awesome OST that rivals Horizons!

If theres one thing about this is it's simply got that undescribable feeling of enjoyment and god doe's it so have it!

While this isn't a bad show by any means, it hasn't done anything new, nor has it improved on anything that has already been done before. May keep watching it, but it needs a more interesting turn at some point.
